These cannot break up turf. To pre vent gullying, the cotton is “circled,” that Ts, planted in curved rows, fol lowing the “contour line*,” or lines of equal elevation around the slope*. In other word*, each row must tie level-, no matter how crooked. Then the rows are ridged from the first so that when heavy rains come the gutters be tween the rows stand full, and give the water time to soak in and not wash. In the main the rows are parallel, bnt they are short and crooked and angu lar, and the cotton it raised in patches between the great gullies.

A bale weighs about 600 pounds, ami brings about $60, after it is picked and ginned and baled. An acre of good land will produce a bale or more, and even this is not renarka- bly profitable considering the cost of tillage, picking, ginning and baling. I do not wander that commercial fertilizers are sold in the South far more than at, the North. There seems to be no other manure, except what the cattle scatter in their roamings. I did not see a dozen loads of stable or vard manure drawn out upon the fields in nil the region south of Ohio, except near the cities, for early pota toes. A few square miles near Bow ling Green, Ky., show better farming and fairly good winter wheat in good- sized square-cornered fields, with straight plowing and drill rows, as if the work had been done with decent teams and implements. Here there is evidently a mixed agriculture, with some rotation of crops, instead of one narrow speciality. Aside from this narrow locality, the land, the farming, the live stock and the people seemed poor. The towns are simply trade centres for the surrounding agricul tural ^region—not producing centres, creating, by tlie daily labor of hund reds of workmen, large stores of val uable commodities that the surround lng*country must have and pay for. The southern towns simply buy and sell nearly every every thing the farmers and farm laborers need, and take their cotton In exchange ; and so the money goes out of the southern country. The business men ot the South feel this, and are more than anxious that northern capital and en terprise should come iu and introduce our diversified agriculture and our varied manufacturing interests.

Richmond, Va., May 6.—Mahone’s Republican State Committee, after an all night’s session, adjourned. Beside calling a State convention to meet here July 16, and setting in motion the machinery for the election of delegates thereto, an address to the people of the State was ordered to be prepared. In this paper Mahoner’s committee will answer the specific demands recently mnde by Governor Cameron and other influential members of the party for foirnes* and honesty iu the operation of the party machtnery. Some of the Governor’s friend* say that, in the plan adopted by this committee last niifht, kLabonc practically conceded some oftro most important demands made by the Cameron wing. Local meetings arc to tie held on May 30 for the election of delegates to the State convention. It is the intention ot the Cameron faction to make a determined fight iu these to elect delegates to the convention (dodged to uive upon that body the adoption of a difierent plan of party organization. From all indl cations, Governor Cameron ami the largo minority voting with him have manifested a determination to fight M&hone at every point.

The action of the sheriff of Will county in releas ing seventy strikers captured by the. v*™ 111 ' troops near Joiist on Saturday, and who came from Lemont, is assigned as oue of the causes. The Evening Jour* na/Lemont special says: About oue hundred strikers assembled at the depot this morning with the intention to capture the militia. They after wards went to Walker k Singer’s quarries and routed the men. At 9.80 o’clock four companies of militia and a detachment of Battery 0 arrived from Joliet, with Generai* Vance and Col onel Bpnnet| in command. They stoppea at the Excelsior Quarry and one company deployed as skirmishers; the other three companies marched to the quarries where the mob was con gregated.

Company A, commanded by Captain 8t. Clair, with a detach ment ot Battery C, of Joliet, formed the right on one side of the street, Company D, commanded by Captain Blanchard, formed the left on the other side of the street, and the order, “Forwardl Charge bayonets!” was given. The mob, with wild hooting and cheering, met the main front with clubs and rock*. As the troops ad vanced steadily, the mob gave way to a side street and hurled a shower of rocks, and one shot was fired from the mob. Colonel Bennett ordered them to disperse, and a number that refused were prodded with bayonets. One man, a Pole, was serionsly stabbed. Further up the street the mob formed and commenced burling stones. A detachment sent to disperse them fired a volley and the rioters scattered. Two men, named Stiler and Quagra, were killed. The troops cleared the streets of the howling women and children. More trouble is apprehended. Tho troops will encamp at Singer's quar ries. The militia displayed the coolest bravery. It is reported that a woman and a child were killed. A number of soldiers were badly hurt by flying mis siles. The following official report from Adjutant General Vance has been sent to Governor Oglesby: Colonel Bennett removed bis com inand, except one company, from Joliet to Lemont, arriving at about 9 a. m and, forming a line south of Lemont, Deputy Sheriff Potter conducted the troops into Lemont, near the Alton depot, where a mob of from 600 to 1,(XX) strikers congregated. They were commanded to disperse and go to their bouses by Potter, but they would not. The strikers rushed towards the troops, throwing stones. Major Ucfferman and one or two others were struck anc slightly wounded. The air was full of stones. In soil-defence the troops fired. Two strikers were killed and several wounded. Before the troops fired a pistol was fired from a house into the troops. The troops passed on through to their destination at Singer and Talcott’s quarries. A great many jieople are on the streets now, but are qniet Chicago, May 5.—A dispatch to the Daily News from Lemont, III., says The night passed quietly with the ex ception of oue shot tired by a sentry at strikers who had refused to halt when ordered to do so. This morning Bar ney Drake, foreman at Wulkdv’s quar ry, was stoned by two strikers w Idle going to his work. One of the men was promptly arrested by the local authorities. LfcMONT, Ilc., May 7.—Although the strikers are still in a sullen mood no further outbreaks are anticipated. The militia will not leave, however, until all danger is over. The citizens' meet ing hist night demanded the immediate withdrawal of troops. The demand will not be complied with. Sheriff Hatchett is here to-day inquiring into the condition of affairs. The strikers in small squads are returning to work, and it is expected that in a few days there will bo a full force employed in the quarries.

One of the worst abuses in the departmental service is the matter of sick leaves. Every employ 4 gets thirty days’ reg ular leave, and when unavoidably ill is granted leave of absence until able to attend to duty. Under this regula tion when a male clerk was suffering from a headache from a night out with the boys he eotihl remain at home, and whenever a female clerk wanted to go to the matinee she could report herself sick. Auditor McConville, who found the work of his office from one to six months behind, has been inquiring into the matter and a report concern ing the same was laid upon his table to-day. The figures are curious. They begin with the month of July and in clude April. The first mouth shows an absence roll of 729 regular leave days and 671 sick days for 372 clerks; August, 1,346 days regular leave and 620 days sick. This continues until after the eicetion at an average sick roll of of 652 days per month. After election the leaves suddenly drop to 162 regular and 396 sick. For April it rnns 194 and 300 and 379 and makes an average of 400 'sick days a month. Compared with the sick returns of the spring season of former years this im provement .of the general health of the Government employes since the elec tion is remarkable. In this small office the improved healthy tone is worth five men and about six hadred dollars a month. <. From indications this sadden healthy oondltion«extcnds to every branch of the service. At the same rate it mokes a practical increase of clerical force of about fifteen in every thousand, or 180 teen in the departments alone, which at an average of salary would amouut to about $22,600 per mouth. This is not an extravagant estimate, bat a fair deduction from the figures furnished.

Nkw York, May 6.—The building, on State street, which ire let out with* power for various manu facturing purposes, together with a building in the rear, were destroyed. Tiie rear building was undergoing repairs One of the props under the girders gave away, when the entire structure collapsed. Fire then com municated with the front building, and despite the efforts of the firemen they were destroyed. Fifteen work men are supposed'to be in the ruins. New York, May 6.—The buildings destroyed were very large, aud con sisted of the building fronting on Co lumbia street; with two wings, leav ing a court in tho centre. The estab lishment covered two-thirds of the block. It was occupied by about twenty mamitacturing concerns, who rented steam power with their rooms and employed an aggregate of 500 per sons, the majority of whom were girls and WOBICB, and the gicntcr part were at work when it occurred. The cause of the fire was the overturning of the boilers of a soap factory on the second floor. The West wall of the middle wing on Atlantic street had settled. Work- meiMwcre screwing it up with jacks, when it fell with a crash. The build ing was twenty-seven years old. It was full of ifTWammablo material, and was a mass of flames in a few minutes. The beat was so fierce that the water was turned to steam and made no im pression on the fire.’ The firemen oc cupied themselves with life saving and rescued many persons from the upper stories with their ladders The loss of life was greatly increas ed by the panic which prevailed among the inmate* of the building. Many women jumped from the upper stories before the Haines reached them, and not waiting for the firemen’s ladders, which were even then being raised to them. Some were seen to jump from the windows into the burn ing debris. A number of men were at work on the wall which collapsed, and none of these have since been seen. Ten working girls have not been ac counted lor. The janitor ...was killed within its wall after be had given the alarm and returned to help save life. Four firemen were caught under one of the falling walls, but were dug out alive and will probably recover, though they are badly injured.* The fire chief expresses the opinion that twenty-live or more persons are underMit* wreck, all dead. Three bodies have been taken from the ruins; they were burned beyond recognition. The building was owned by Nathan Cushing, of Boston. The loss is esti mated at $300,000; insurance unknown. STEVE ELKINS TALK* POLITICS. An AmbiKuoii* Krmark »a tqCI«T*l*nd and ■* Vrry Dlract Stat«in-nt «» lo Blaine. Two gentlemen, talking politics quite loudly, «at in an elevated railroad car on Wednesday morning. One was a rather slightly built man, with gray hair, short, stubby gray mustache, wearing a light-gray overcoat and a tall hat with mourning band; name unknown. The other was Mr. Stephen B Elkins, erstwhile manager of Mr. Blaine’s unlucky campaign. Mr. Elkins was known to many of the business men in the car, and when bis companion asked him: “Well, what do you think of Cleveland?” those sitting near listened with inter est to tlie answer. “1 am compelled to say,” said Mr. Elkins, “that I think, personally, ins policy is better than would have been that of the man I spent dollars and time to elect. Still, 1 hate a Demo crat.” This somewhat Delphic reply was followed by the question, “Do yon think lie will keep many of our fellows in office long?” “No,” replied Mr. Elkins. “It would not be natural, and they will go very soon.” “Are we going to keep the Irish vote?” “Yes, I gn«ss so," said Mr. Elkins doubtfully. “But I wish we could get along without them. Having them at all hurts us with the young and en lightened voter.” 7 “That is so,” said bis companion “They are a patriotic class and lyvc their country, and will go only with the party making the biggest hurrah for Ireland.” “Will wc elect our next President?’ he asked in the next breath. “Yes, and Blaine is onr man,” was Mr. Elkins’s response. “His chances are better to-day for election iu 1888 than they were the day after the con vention at Chicago for succesa in ? 84.” BiohmoMl —y-,,—-.y*- y ast now of tite the ^ jgiitippiB wmmm The marriage will take place on June 2, at the Second Presbyterian Church,. % Ai lwte of harts and many sorts of oils of aum and beast need a cooling lotion.

FRIEND. NO More Terror! No More Pain! No More Danger! A Hiss by Moonlight. From time immemorial, no one will pre tend to deny the fact that kisses have been held in high repute by botti sexes—whether active or passive. It has been decided that a LEGAL KISS Implies ACTION on Imth parties; but when a lady simply consents lo be kissed without action ot i.er lips, it constitutes only a PASSIVE kiss—a sweet deprived of its nectar.
